ADACS Training – Community Survey
To gauge the interest and training requirements of the Australian astronomy community, we are asking you to fill in a short survey.
The survey will take less than five minutes, and your input will help us prioritise which workshops and tutorials to prepare first. The survey responses are collected anonymously, and results will be reported in an aggregated format. You can access the survey via https://curtin.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3fIrJRM6yXYBClv
